Yes, we do have to be careful of that Balius, if things start running loose in the 'backfield' up North, none of us are making it through to the South.

Here's what I propose for the next few rounds:

1) Mauler and 'Sag' take down the Nova A, while Battlemaster and 'Hata' keep firing at the Gargoyle.

2) If the Nova A survives to the next round, 'Sag' keeps firing at it, while Mauler fields the Balius, and Battlemaster and 'Hata' keeps the Gargoyle occupied (I'm hoping that this activates the Monitors; conditions are to be in LOS of the two towers, and push the OPFOR out of the boat pens).

3) Put down the Balius and Gargoyle, and run down South on the left side.

The problem with the Battlemaster and I trying to keep attacking the Gargoyle is that it's standing in a really obnoxious place. I'm not particularly good at figuring line of sight with different heights and terrain in the way but I think there's only a couple hexes we could even shoot at it from, and they generally include leaving ourselves in the Stone Rhino's sights. It might be better for us all to just gang up on that Nova again and hope it sticks this time.

My first thought was that I could just climb straight over this wall and end in 0707, where I can join the pile on the Nova. Puts me at short range to that LBX-20 though and I'm not actually moving enough hexes to generate a move mod at all, so I'm just asking to get a slug in my machine.
Most of the other places I can go honestly look just as bad to me with the Stone Rhino and Gargoyle around. Thoughts?

Oh, and PTN, it looks like you didn't update the Gargoyle's damage on it's card when you fixed my turn earlier, it's not showing any leg damage.

For LOS, I'd say ask PTN as he's the final arbitrator. Rather than guess and risk losing a turn, just ask him (either post here, PM, or email).

Unless I completely misunderstand the movement rules, you can't just 'climb' over the wall; its H2 and you're at H0, you'll have to use the roads.

We're going to eat damage this turn, no question (I just ate 15 points to the RT last turn); key is to try and distribute the damage as evenly as possible over the entirety of the lance, without reducing combat effectiveness, while focusing down the OPFOR.

There should be enough targets around that eating one AC/20 shot isn't going to be enough to put you down, as long as they don't concentrate on you.

As for where to move, that's ultimately up to you; the reason I advocate for firing at the Gargoyle while being in LOS of the two towers is so that the Monitors will 'activate' (based on what PTN said were the activation conditions for those boats).

From a rules angle, a mech can traverse two height elevations just fine, at the cost of three mp. One to enter the hex, and two to go up (one mp per elevation change).

Mechs can climb two levels at a time, it just takes an additional MP. Since most of you are 3/5 you don't have enough mp to go up and down in the same turn since it takes. 6 total, before even counting facing changes if any.

Mechs can go up or down up to two levels at a time, it just costs extra MP to do it. For me to climb onto the wall takes 3, then going back down will also take 3, so that's all my running MP to move two hexes.

I think one of us is misunderstanding the key to activating the Monitors. I thought it was that they could see us and the OpFor don't have line of sight to shoot the towers. Yes, taking the Gargoyle out would help with that, but the Stone Rhino is still parked right next to one of them so it's not an immediate concern.

Thanks Folks, appreciate the clarification.

However, since you're facing 0908, don't you have to turn before you can climb? And when you're on the wall, turn again to climb down to 0707?

Again, unless I'm completely backwards on the rules, it should take you 2 turns to complete the maneuver?

I think PTN left it intentional vague on purpose; I can't find the post right now, my read of it was be in LOS of the two towers, and be actively trying to push the OPFOR out of the boat pens.

Ultimately, not here to tell you how to play; 'Sag' be shooting the Nova A with (hopefully) the Mauler, pile ons are welcome (might as well guarantee taking the thing down), just be sure of your LOS and positioning for next turn when we have to focus on the Gargoyle (likely, Battlemaster, 'Hata', and 'Sag', with the Mauler taking on the Balius).

What the HELL? That's my cutting board.

Ok, so I am still thinking Battlemaster move to 0809 and hit the Gargoyle. I think there is a good chance that the Stone Rhino will still concentrate fire on the Sagittarius as that was his target last round, so I only need to soak up punishment next turn and hopefully we can advance on the Rhino.

As a side note, I really should have started playing "The Time of the Hanse" from my external speakers as I advanced, that may have woken up the Monitor crews.

Stone Rhino won't have a shot, my orders right now are to jump to 0608 and feeding my pulse lasers to the Nova. (unless there's a better suggestion for positioning? I want to make sure we're spread out, and keep heading South)

Sounds decent to me. I am not seeing any places where I can get the all important +1 move mod while being in LoS of only one enemy, so I will probably just move into 0433 and decline LoS to everyone this turn, but leaving me in a far better spot to respond to any Summoner Shenanigans next turn.

"Now, now look here, last play we were talking about how the blitzers had an inside and an outside line on that left side up north, and that's exactly what they did. This is kind of a good news, bad news situation for the offense. The bad news is, if they aren't careful, that Balius is gonna get into the backfield and really mess up their game plan. That's an old-school, smash-mouth kind of player right there and you can't let them have too many free shots at your quarterback, or you are in trouble. The, uh, now the good news is that it takes him out of the play for at least one turn, maybe two, and the offense can focus on breaking through and pushing into the secondary."

"That, uh, that yardage up the middle is going to be key in this game. I mean, your rushing game is always important, but it's gonna be most of their playbook right now. They set it up right, they can go 4 on 2 for a couple turns, take the Stone Rhino out of the equation, and start to pressure that second layer down south. That little retaining wall is gonna be key in limiting what the Stone Rhino can see."

"Down south it seems like everyone's still getting into the game a bit, figuring out what kind of game it's going to be. Except for that JagerMech. That one's already looking to make some plays. He's a real gunslinger, just havin' fun out there. I dunno if he's really got the arm strength of someone like a Brett Favre, but he's gonna take his shots downfield and he's executing well today. I'm thinking we're gonna want to keep an eye on that guy this game."

I can move to a hex that I am fairly sure has LOS on only one enemy unit, so I am going to keep sending chip damage downfield; also, I did not want to move in a way where I would have difficulty opening the range against the star commander.

I'm waiting for an inevitable "Aw crap" moment where someone gets to show off why the Galahad is dangerous by taking a pair of Gauss to the face after an LoS misread. Oh, excuse me, those filthy clanners renamed it the Glass Spider.

Also, PTN? THANK YOU for putting one of those in at last. Probably my absolute favorite "second line" Clan mechs just for how goofy it is. Sure, its not particularly fast and it is relatively poorly armored, but dual Gauss can ruin anyone's day if given less respect than it deserves. Also, the whole flippy arms trick is explicitly referenced in the fluff, which is a bonus.

Konpei Island Update 4

Sumiko raised her Hatamoto-Chi’s arms as Captain Dupont brought her Sagittaire down in her field of fire. Most BattleMechs were incapable of friendly fire without disabling a dozen different safety features, the DI Computer buried at the back of the cockpit wouldn’t permit a machine to fire on an ally. Her motion was equal-parts protest and proof that she meant the Federated Suns officer no harm. She’d had a clear shot at the Thunderchild, but she couldn’t risk taking it with an ally in the way.

It hardly mattered, the Sagittaire’s devastating close-range armament practically blew the enemy machine in half. Even a barrage of heavy autocannon hits couldn’t keep the elation out of the Feddie’s victory cry. Sumiko suppressed a smile, she’d been raised her whole life to believe that the soldiers of the Federated Suns, with their tendency towards surrender their commanders showed, lacked a warrior’s spirit. They certainly didn’t lack for bravery and aggression. Centuries of fighting the Draconis Combine had turned cowards into daredevils—if the Draconis Combine had shown even half this aggression during the initial Clan invasion, perhaps things would have been much different.

Do You Remember Love?

I want you to think about the implications of this for a moment.

Ummm, not sure I follow? Didn't mean to offend, did I say something untoward?

. . . you keep putting (smile) in all your posts, and your posting/writing style is that of a huge goony neckbeard, are you autistic or what?

Edit: maybe you're just a teenager or a drama nerd, I don't know but it's annoying.

If it bothers people this much, I'll stop doing it. I don't like using emojis, and, I will want to convey the context of my messages. I'll use actual smilies if people prefer.

And no, I am not any of those things you suggested; you can keep guessing, if you want to turn it into a game?

Konpei Island Update 4

Wow.

Okay, so as the 'Hata' didn't fire, I'm assuming the Nova is Mission Killed? No need to worry about that AC/20 any more?

And, the OPFOR didn't move? Is that just a map update error?

Nevermind, new map posted! :)

Preference and time constraint.

I don't have any of the IRC 'stuff', and I don't have the time to learn it and set it up. I also don't want to get into long drawn out discussions about how my 'style' is annoying.

Is this a problem? I thought we've been communicating orders and and our ideas rather well.

Oh ok that makes sense. You are annoying but I thought there might be more to it than that. Anyway go on and keep putting points on the board.

Southern group: We kind of have two options. The first is that we turn about and focus fire on Someone and try to put a kill on the board ASAP. The second is we run for the north; you two start sprinting up the west side of the map while I try to hold their attention for a few rounds to give you two time to run. I do not much like plan #2 because we are all very slow, even though the northern group is having a hard time finding an opening to break through to us, but I can move to support either plan.
